The 2024 NFL Draft is two weeks away as teams continue to make trades, acquire free-agent talent, and jockey for better draft positioning. Three organizations have two first-round picks (Chicago /Arizona / Minnesota), and depending on how they utilize them, these teams could dramatically impact opening draft night. Ultimately, it’ll be the draft prospects that drive anticipation and intrigue for the league and its fans. Will there be four quarterbacks selected sequentially from the first pick through the fourth? Could the top ten picks all be offensive players? Whatever the results, the NFL will once again masterfully market its product, even when it only promotes “hope” months before the actual season begins. This week’s mock zeros in on several “hopeful” first-round choices for teams in the upcoming draft. Enjoy.
